Best Black TV Shows of the '90s and '00s
10 Shows That Helped Me Come Into My Own Blackness

Weekend mornings in my house started off with me waking up before my mom and running down to turn on the TV and watch The Proud Family. I recently rewatched the show on Disney+ and was reminded of all the touching and funny moments that impacted me so much as a child. The one episode that still sticks out in my head is the one where Penny Proud goes back in time in a dream to live during segregation and the Civil Rights Era. Watching her gain a deeper connection with her African-American Heritage through that experience helped me do the same; especially because I had never learned African-American history as my own.
